namemc name availability? what does that mean (2025)

on some names i see this

what does that mean?
like the name is going to be available later?
or like the og names how they talk about how in a few days it's going to be open and everyone wants to snipe it
but how?? minecraft doesn't make you change your name and how does namemc know? if you are

When you change your IGN, everyone except you is prevented from changing to that name for a month + a few days. After that, it's fair game.

Once a name is changed, people get 35 days to reclaim their old username (that's 5 days after the 30 day wait).
